Peculiar Funeral Ceremonies.

From the New York Mail and Express.
The funeral Of Rabbi Abraham Jo-
seph Ash, the only rabbi in America
recognized by the orthodox church of
Russia, took place to-day from his
late residence, No. 54115 Ludlow Street.
Rabbi Ash founded the first congrega-
ton Of Polish Jews in this city thirty
| six years ago, and when he died was
at the head Of the largest Polish or
thOdox church IN New York, which is
known as the Beth Hamedsesch Halo
del. To-day the crowd about the
house was increased by delegations
from every synagogue in the city. The
body was placed in the front room on
the first floor, and constant stream
OF people passed for hours by the fold
ing doors, in front Of which the coffin
stood. Every man wore his hat, and
no one thought it necessary to stop
smoking. The pictures in both rooms
had their faces turned to the wall and
covered with pieces of white cloth.
Ever since the rabbits death twenty
men have been constantly praying in
the back room. The body had been
resting in 8 plain coffin, surrounded
by wax-candles on chairs, and with
the white grave clothes piled on top
| of it until / o'clock to-day. It was
then dressed and put in a plain pine
box, it being the rule of the Jewish
church that only the plainest box
shall be used. At O'Clock the body
was taken to Mt. Sinai cemetery for
interment. The funeral services were
read by Rabbi Mendez and six assist
ants. Memorial services will be held
in every synagogue in the city to night.
Rabbi Ash leaves q widow, four chill
dren and grandchild, who will enter
on g. week of mourning. They are
obliged to sit on stools, with bare
feet, and are not allo we'd to leave the
rooms where the rabbi died for any
purpose. They will have to depend
on the thoughtfulness OF their neigh
bors for food.

The Farmers Repair Shop.

No farm is complete without re-
pair shop stocked with sufficient tools
to enable the farmer to make the or
binary repairs on the farm nipple
ments, and no farmer is fully master
of his business who cannot go into the
repair shop and mend g. break in his
wagons or farm machinery whenever
he has g. sudden breakdown. Among
the tools necessary in the shop is q
blacksmith's forge, with few tools to
90 with it. A little practice will enable
an intelligent farmer to do many Of
the little repairs Of iron work in half
the time it would require to 60 to the
blacksmith. The shop should be sup
piled with sufficient carpenter tools to
enable the farmer to repair the wood
work of the farm implements, and to
make any slight repairs on the farm
buildings. It is well to always have on
hand a good supply of bolts, screws
and nails of various sizes. This will
enable the farmer to keep his farm i'm
plements in repair the entire season.
If bolt is lost or screw wanted. it
can be at once supplied, and thus

How ContagioD is Propagated.
From the New York World

from the New 4Ork World.
DR.. James B. Taylor, chief Inspector
of contagious diseases, thus explains
the matter:
''This case was reported to me and
[ sent an Inspector who dieinfected
the apartments and did what he could
to ward Off additional danger. It
was impossible to persuade the
parents to allow the child to be
brought to the hospital.
'People act in the most reckless
manner in cases of this kind. They
allow their children to enter rooms
where scarlet fever is and teachers
send children to find out the causes of
some child's absence from school. A
woman keeping little candy store
will leave her child sick with scarlet
fever or diphtheria, 60 into her store
and sell candy to little children. This
Is one OF the most common ways in
which the fever germs are dissent
ated."
He said that when he did attempt
to do his best for g. neighborhood
afflicted with these diseases he was
met In most cases by the determined
opposition OF the parents to the re-
moval Of the child to the hospital.
In many cases the attending physi-
clans fail to report the cases until the
whole neighb orhood has been exposed.
SIT should be made a criminal Of
fence" said DR.. Taylor" for any ply
sisian to neglect to report case of
contagious disease as soon as it is de-
termined. Parents, guardians and
relatives should also be made amen
able to the same provision.
II also believe that all cases OF
measles, diphtheria and scarlet fever
on foreign steamships should be quar-
antlned as rigidly as smallpox, yell
low and typhus fevers."

in the hall when he went in to supper,
and when he came out, after almost
everyone else had left the room, he
found the old hat he is wearingresting
calmly where his new one should have

Feeding Hay From Stacks.

Many farmers, being unable to pro-
vide barns for storing hay, are COM
PEELED to feed from stacks. with no
little waste in windy weather, and
great discomfort in q blizzard. j.
Orner, in the WheatIand Eagle, to OBJ
viate loss of hay and avoid exposure
in feeding, makes the following sugges-
tions: In building your barn or
stable, make two doors; one for stock
to pass In and ont, and one for O. feed
room door. In stacking hay build
two stacks about ten feet wide, one
on each side of the bedroom door,
with space of five or six feet be-
tween stacks. Build the stacks per-
pendicular On the inside till about
two feet above the door. Then place
poles on scantling across from one
stack to the other and top out the
stacks the same as if one stack, which
will leave q hallway between the
stacks to store hay in. In fair
weather cut piece from the end OF
the stack furthest from the door and
place in the hallway. Commence
feeding from hay next the door, and
when your supply is nearly exhausted
fill up again. By keeping the further
end from the door full, your hay will
be free from snow, and you can feed
in the worst blizzard.

Raise Tour Own Steers.

[ fear that too many calves are
just now finding their way to the
butchers, but there are farmers who
raise their own oxen and COWS. 1t is
for them to say what the calves they
are now raising shall weigh three years
hence. A large number Of them will
have to be fed on skim-milk, and if
they are intended to be kept growing
it will be with other kinds of food.
And this additional food is cheap.
Dat or barley meal is the best. Cook
it in clean water, and when cold, mix
g. small portion at first, when the
calves are ten days old, with the milk,
and increase it as they grow older and
demand more. Feed three times a
day. With this treatment, if they
are in good pasture, they will grow as
rapidly as il running with their moth
ers. Do not feed go that when they
are done they are ravenous for more,
but give them as much as they want,
and give it to them at regular stated
periods, three times day. Flaxseed
boiled to 8 jelly, and g. little once q
day put in their food, is very bene-
fetal. Any farmer can have this
raised on his own farm, but If he de-
ponds on oil-cake meal it will be neg
lected. II they are in pasture, have
q shed for them to go under in
rain or cold wind. Insist, however,
on calves having pure milk, warm
from the udder, for the first ten days.
It is best for the calves that it be
MIXED and fed to them. But it is
better for the COWS to have the calves
suck for ten days. One of tine worst
backsets in calves is to let them run
with their mothers all summer, and
then wean them in the fall on dry hay
or unground grain. Without special
care at this period they fall off in
flesh, until they are not as good as
the calves fed carefully on skim milk
and meal. 1t has got to be that time
of day in stock raising that good
farmer is ashamed to see about his
premises poor, lean, starved calves.
Such things give the lie to his profess
sions of good farming or indWelling
Christianity. 1t might have been done
when they did not know any better.
In those days it was contended that
to raise calves and colts with hard
fare the first winter made them hardy
and healthy. But that senseless
theory is exploded. High feeding is
becoming more and more popular as
the question is investigated and ex-
perimented. And this is especially
the case with all meat-producing ami
mails. Early maturity by careful
keeping is the lesson of wisdom in case
OF hogs and cattle. And in order to
do this, special care must be taken of
the calves and pigs.-American Guilt

Much is said in the agricultural
journals about restoring lost fertility,
or making poor lands rich. Even the
distinguished scientist and farmer, Sir
J. B. Lawes, speaks rather discourag.
ingly about making poor lands rich,
as to whether it will pay. How did
nature make rich lands after this
globe was almost q solid rock, and
after it was bail Of fire, as biologists
declare it to have been? When the
globe Of fire cooled off, moisture, frosts
and solar heat commenced the work
of converting rocks into soil. AS soon
as even poor soil was formed plants
began to grow, and the atmosphere
gave them about 95 per cent. OF their
food, and the earth gave them the
rest-lime, potash, phosphates, etc.
The plants matured and decayed and
gave humus to the soil, and this, with
the mineral matter they had drawn
from the earth, made the soil q little
more fertile. Then shrubs and trees
began to grow and there matured, fell
to the ground, decayed, and made
more humus. So the process went on
age after age, until all the rich lands
OF the earth were formed, chiefly from
humus made mostly out Of atmos-
pheric food. Have the laws of nature
changed? Is not nature this year and
to-day making poor lands rich through
forest leaves and trunks Of dead trees
and dead grasses and weeds Can we
not mske poor lands rich in the same
way, and much more rapidly than
nature does? Can we not make an
old worn-out field rich in a few years
with pea vines, forest leaves, manure
of animals, weeds: humus. ETC., that
would require nature hundreds Of
thousands OF years to do the same
work?

Color of Small Grain,

The bright not dark green heritage
OF growing grain is better for q good
crop than the darker color showing
too niue nitrogen in the soil, and in
dicating growth of straw that will
break down from it's own weight. Min
eral plant food to make the straw
bright is best for small grain. Indian
corn, however, cannot have too much
rich manure. The darker color it's
leaves show in summer the larger will
be it's yield OF yellow grain at harvest
time.

bad breakdown often prevented, and
O. great expense avoided. There are
many cold and stormy days during
winter that drive the farmers indoors,
which can be spent IN the repair shop,
looking over and repairing the farm
tools, and thus have them ready for
use when the busy season comes.
This not only saves valuable time
when the farmer has all he can do, but
it saves paying out considerable
money for more extensive repairs, be-
cause q little break neglected, soon
leads TO other breaks that require I'M
mediate attention and q, skilled work
m an who will not neglect TO charge
high for his labor. During the winter
all the farm implements should be
carefully looked over, and such re-
pairs as can be done with the means
at hand should be made, and those
requiring to be made by an expert
should be carried to such and be thor
oughly repaired. When the tools are
in good repair, those that are COM
posed of wood, or partially wood,
should receive q good coat Of paint,
| and thus be protected from the
changes of weather. The difference be.
tween keeping up the little repairs on
farm implements and farm buildings
and letting them go until expensive
repairs become an absolute necessity,
much more than it would at first
appear. A loss of bolt or slight
break, SO readily, and we might say so
naturally, leads to a complete break
down, that q few moments spent in
replacing such a bolt, or in mending
the break, often prevents O. serious
disaster, not only to the vehicle, but
to the driver, and to the good quail
ties of the horse. Many breakneck
runaways ore caused by q neglect to
replace g. bolt or screw that has been
lost from some portion of the wagon.

Increasing Raspberry Patches.

Req raspperrles increase SO rapidly
by suckers that there is no difficulty
in rapidly extending the plantation if
they are promptly removed, as they
should be. The Black Caps are only
increased by layering of the tips, and
it requires good cultivation and some
care towards thelast of the season to
start these tips to growing. Some will
naturally bend down and root of
themselves, but the increase may be
made much greater by bending the
ends down to the ground and burying
them.

What to Save for Seed.

Many make the mistake, says q
writer in the Indianapolis Farmer, OF
using the first Of peas, beans, toma-
toes, radishes, lettuce, and quite q
list of plants, and allow what is left
to mature for seed. 1t requires but a
short time for the effect Of this kind
of work to show itself in g. lower grade
of products. The better plan IS to
select the best, as they grow, for seed,
not out Of what is LETT, but the best
at first. You want to save the choice
Of the crop for seed instead Of a choice
Of the leaving. In the garden a sup
ply of lettuce, radishes, turnips, peas,
beans, melons, squashes, tomatoes,
and all that class that mature seed
the first year can be saved to very
good advantage. Ifyou secure strong,
vigorous plants and by cultivation
induce rapid growth, the best will give
you plants that will mature seed that
you can save. With field crops, such
as corn, oats, sorghum, or potatoes,
it will often pay to plant q small plot
for the especial purpose OF growing for
seed, taking considerable pains to Sc
cure the best growth, and then Sc
lecting and storing the best
for seed. It is a considerable expense
to be Obliged to purchase seed OF this
kind every spring, and especially so
when by n aking the proper effort you
can secure fully as good as what you
can purchase. But on no account
save the seed unless you have very
good crop. Improve rather than al
low the seed to deteriorate. Ii you
can not DO this, it will be more
economical TO purchase seed than to
raise it, But with proper care with
cutie number OF varieties it will pay
to raise and save your own supply of
seed.
